Age: 47.
Crime: In April 2001, while babysitting two children, he beat to death an 11-month old boy. The baby had a skull fracture and bruises to his head, thigh and abdomen. A week later, he was taken off life support and died. His 4-year-old sister had similar beating injuries to her head, ears and eyes but survived. "They were being very bad by crying a lot for nothing. I just exploded" he told detectives. He had a previous conviction for molesting a child.
Method of execution: Lethal injection.
Last meal: Chicken fried steak, as the rest of the prison because Texas stopped the special last meal.
Last words: "God bless everybody. Continue to walk with God. Go Cowboys. Love y'all, man. Thank you. I can feel it, taste it. It's not bad."
